WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-Only routine
work of minor Importance is likely to
be done in congress this week. When
the house cOnveneS at noon tomorrow
some more propositions on the subject
of rules are expected, as almost every
member has a suggestion in this line,
but no actual business can be done.
Speaker Carlisle, in all probability, will
announce the standing committee on
rules, and the house will adjourn over
to about Thursday to give the committee
opportunity to take into consideration
the multitude of suggestions there have
already been made on the subject of the
permanent rules. The committee in
the last congress consisted of the
Speaker, MIR. Randall, Morrison, Reed
and Hiscock. As Messrs. Morrison and
HiScOck, Democrat and Republican,
have dropped out of the house, at least
two new members will be named on the
committee. Mr.. Mills, of Texas, will in
all probability be chosen to succeed Mr..
Morrison, and either Mr.. Brown, of
Indiana, or Mr.. Cannon, of Illinois,
will, it's thought, succeed Mr.. IIiScOck.
1t is believed the committee on Rules
will be ready to report back to the
house by Thursday, and that the
debate Oh the report may occupy the re-
mainder of the week, as the question Is
in all its bearings one of the most far
reaching that will come before the
house. If wisdom is shown in the FORM
alton of the rules much more may be
done than will be possible where
LAXITY IN THE WORK
is displayed. The proposition to compel
the committee on appropriations to re-
port all of its bills within sixty days
after the committee is announced meets
the approval of the great majority of the
house, but will be fought By members
of the committee, as they desire as much
latitude given the committee as posi-
bic, and the latitude as we'll as the
power of the committee in controlling
legislation has heretofore been almost
unlimited. The speaker is not eX-
pected to announce the full list of
standing committees before Tuesday or
Wednesday of next week. if at all be-
fore the holidays. The holiday adjourn
memt will probably be taken
about Wednesday or Thursday
of next week, Dec. 81 or
%, and if the committees are
to be announced before the holidays
they may be made known in time for
call of the states and territories for the
Introduction of bills. This work will
take more than day. In the senate to-
morrow the standing committees are to
be announced, and time and oppOr-
tunity given for the Introduction of
bills. There will be several Sc
cret sessions during the week for
the reference of nominations to
committees. 1t is not believed
that action will be taken upon the nomi-
nations of Messrs. Lamar, Dickinson
and Villas this week. As announced last
week by Chairman Hoar, the committee
on privileges and elections will go at
once to work on the LucaS-Faulkner
contested election case from West Vir-
ginia, and there are those who believe a
report will be made by the middle of
the week and that some time will be
taken up i'll discussing it. The real
work i'll congress mill begin early in
January. when it re-cOnvenes after the
holiday recess.
